There is a new one with a title that is "My boyfriend thinks Im gay" and tragically is not two men in a relationship as I was hoping from the title.

BOOTY-ADE posted:There are other comments from OP, apparently she gets home this week I'll be F5ing for the next few days ngl... quote:UPDATE... ish. We have a group chat among people close to us. Today, I informed them all that our marriage is canceled and our relationship is over. Did that about 10 am. The chat quite literally exploded, starting with questions about what happened, which I answered honestly. About 2 pm, she started just asking me to call her so we could discuss this. I told her that talking on chat is perfectly fine she said no, this is something between just us. Still have not spoken with her last message from her at 6pm . Please pick me up at the airport so we can talk this out as we planned. I answered her, "That was your plan, not mine. None of this was my plan. " her flight is at 9 am. I wish her luck.

Out of curiosity , when you start to fixate on something, does it take a while before you realize what is happening to start pumping the breaks? I honestly can see this being kind of a blessing to make life have more joys if you are capable of reigning it in. I also can see it being a major curse if it's melding into a form of mania.

DangerDongs posted:You seem pretty self-aware, whereas this lady is in the loving clouds. It depends a lot, and it's taken a lifetime of learning things the hard way. The experience can be extremely different depending on how socially acceptable the special interests are, after all. (Goons in particular should know from both ends of that.) And I'm pretty used to doing things on my own time rather than sharing them with others. (and if anything, it gets annoying when my friends introduce me to something and I start to get into it just as they lose interest and move on) I do try to be more self-aware about it these days, both to avoid burning myself out and annoying others, and also to better ride the wave. I think it's also one of those things that contributes to autism and ADHD being massively under-diagnosed in women and girls, since quirky manic obsessions are considered a lot more acceptable, or at least a charming quirk.

I'm autistic, have ADHD, and get obsessions as well, and I cannot stop an obsession once it starts coming on. I remember being thirteen and getting obsessed with Spongebob Squarepants against my will. After a week or two, I accepted that Spongebob is actually good (the correct opinion), and then the school library got some Discworld books in and I spent the next year and a bit obsessing over that instead. But I can control my behaviour, obviously. It's actually really nice to have a go-to thing that makes you happy to think about, but I'm not basing important life decisions around it. Besides, I know I'll eventually get obsessed with something else.

And then OP's boss who is also at the meeting goes into a full tailspin asking "how would you even toilet train a cat????" over and over.

AITA for going to a therapist to discuss my difficulties with being pregnant for the first time while a stepmom?quote:I (30f) got married 4 years ago to James (32m). James has two children with his ex. My stepson is 10 and my stepdaughter is 9. I love my stepchildren and I try to be a good stepmom. Not the crazy evil kind or the kind who wants the kids all to herself and tries to screw over the biological parent. I see my role as being an additional adult in their lives who contributes to their security. But I don't believe I am an equal parent. They don't see me that way and that is totally fine and lines up with my experiences with friends who had stepparents even from very young ages. I dated James knowing he had children and I always wanted to be one of the stepparents who the kids were glad to have in their lives, not the ones tolerated for the sake of their parent.

Op isn't sure but her in-laws hate her husband's Ex and thinks they're trying to unperson her and just make Op the new mother and they can't do that if she's doing things like 'being the cool step-mom and being very clear about boundaries and step siblings'.

When you can't understand why in-laws are doing what they're doing and looking for an explanation, there's always dementia.

That one's too weird, how do you let that go on so long with just an occasional mild correction? I feel like that would've been an "okay, we're sitting down right now to explicitly talk through this until I figure out whether you're playing a weird mind game, or you need help from a medical professional" situation for me.

Unlike similar posts I’ve seen, it’s not the chauffeurs who are asking about the situation, but the manager (me) who sees someone taking horrible advantage of coworkers. I know these people are so compassionate and caring, but they also don’t have the extra funds to be putting the wear and tear and gas on their vehicles.

I see a parallel to the idiot who thought his new step-kids' DNA would change to show that he was the father. It's not the same, the new step-parent in this case isn't the idiot, but someone is expecting the whole experience of parenthood to retroactively transfer to the new step-parent.
